• Germany’s highest court has declared that “privacy rights enshrined in Germany’s Constitution extend to foreigners living abroad and cover their online data," reports Melissa Eddy. [nytimes.com]
• Be aware of the apps your kids use & how their data is being handled. “For years, TikTok ignored the children’s privacy law, thereby ensnaring perhaps millions of underage children in its marketing apparatus, & putting them at risk of sexual predation.” [nytimes.com]
• A Vivaldi survey shows search engine privacy & neutrality are very important to over 80% of users. Our search is always private with no filter bubble, and Vivaldi is using our Tracker Radar to further protect your privacy. [vivaldi.com]
